Colin Asher makes a point that I wish I had made first (damn oversleeping):
Republican Representative Lynn Jenkins stepped in it twice over when she said the Grand Old Party was looking for a “Great White Hope” to stop President Obama’s political agenda.
Not only did she put the lie to Republican claims that the party’s beef with the president is purely ideological, and not racial, but by employing a boxing metaphor that she clearly doesn’t understand, she set herself up as a punching bag.
See, Ms. Jenkins, the thing about Great White Hopes is…they always lose.
Sarah Palin and Eric Cantor look an awful lot like James J. Jeffries to me.
